4 Hour time frame

Bug Reports

For forex the 4 hour candle uses 1am, 5am, 9am, etc. and not midnight, 4am, 10am, etc.

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @Tradermoe1023 , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    The 4-hour candle start times can vary depending on the broker and the specific symbol. To help me investigate this further, could you please let me know which broker's chart you are comparing ours to?

    A screenshot of both charts side-by-side would be a great help as well.

      I have never heard of those times. I use Oanda and they use 1, 5, and 9am. If there are differing times, then at least let us set the time we use.

        Hi again! Thanks for the follow-up — and that makes total sense.

        If you're using OANDA and prefer 4-hour candles starting at 1am, 5am, 9am, etc., we recommend trying the following setup:

        • Create a new project

        • Set the time zone to UTC-4

        • Disable the DST (Daylight Saving Time) option during project creation.

        This configuration should align your 4-hour candles with the timing you're used to from OANDA.

        Let us know if that works for you — and if not, we’ll be happy to explore other options.
